Why the full moon is the starting signal of every Halloween night
As soon as dusk falls and the moon appears in the sky, an ordinary evening turns into a Halloween night. Unlike a pumpkin or a costume, the full moon isn't ground-level decor — it's the backdrop up above, the stage against which everything else happens. That's why the full moon design represents the moment the excitement for trick-or-treating finally kicks off.
